ABOUT US

Tylor Starr | Executive Director/Creator/Cofounder

Tylor has been a fan of Harry Potter since he was read the
first book by his third grade teacher in 2000—he has been hooked ever since.
When Tylor was a freshman in college, he founded the first official Colorado
quidditch team at the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley. He played and
coached the Northern Colorado Golden Griffins for two years while working for
the International Quidditch Association as the Colorado State Representative.
During this time, he also founded Greeley, Colorado’s first animal rights group
called the Colorado Animal Rights Enthusiasts or CARE. Having moved to Los
Angeles, Tylor then became the coach of the Hollywood Harpies quidditch team
and served as the Southern California Quidditch Conference’s Division II Coordinator.
Tylor now works full time for animal rights and can often be found stuffing his
face with vegan mac and cheese and Flying Cauldron Butterscotch Beer while
talking non-stop about magizoology.

Kathryn Henzler | Creative &
Communications Director/Cofounder

Kathryn has a passion for anything nerdy and vegan, and is pretty much the American Hermione, complete with brown, frizzy hair. Her first nerdy passion was Harry Potter, which she started reading after her cool Mom introduced her to it in elementary school. Since then, she has never missed a midnight book release or premiere. When she was in her sophomore year in college, not only did she discover the joys of muggle quidditch as a keeper on the USC quidditch team, but she also rekindled her passion of animal rights and became vegetarian (by senior year, she was vegan). Since then, she has volunteered her time with various animal rights organizations and demonstrations. Also in her senior year, she founded and captained USC’s second quidditch team, the Liondragons. Since graduating, she has been passionate about incorporating animal rights and veganism into other areas of her life, like music (she plays many vegan instruments, including a taiko drum), clothing and costume design (no animal materials allowed), and sports (vegan skates and archery quivers, for the win). And her post-Potter series headcanon is that because of her interest in rights for magical and other creatures, Hermione became vegan, of course.
